Having ADHD, being successful in school didn’t come naturally to me. It was by learning to self-motivate and organize that I achieved the Washington State Honor award, Salutatorian status, the prestigious Presidential Scholarship at my university, and a seal of biliteracy in my second language, French. This speaks to the fact that anyone can learn, regardless of organizational or learning difficulties. 

Beyond The Malini Way, I am a pole vaulter, gym rat, churchgoer, and Francophile. I will attend Pacific Lutheran University in the fall to study psychology and kinesiology.
